Hi,
I am writing to you about a problem we encountered in working with MSO Word documents (docx format) using the Aspose Words v23.6 library for Java.
Specifically, in the document, DateSDTs with the content “September 2018” are used in two places (one at the top of the first page, and the other in its footer).
When using the API to access them and read their content, it has the form “September YYYY”. So instead of the year written in numbers - 2018, it returns the format used for the year displayed with four digits - YYYY.
I am enclosing the source document,a screenshot where you can see the right form, as well as the code for proving mentioned issue.
Best regards!
Nenad

You can use StructuredDocumentTag.getFullDate() to get date value of the SDT:
Document document = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
Iterable<StructuredDocumentTag> childSdtNodes = document.getChildNodes(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG, true);
for (StructuredDocumentTag sdt : childSdtNodes)
{
if (sdt.getSdtType() == SdtType.DATE)
{
System.out.println(sdt.getFullDate());
